RACES.
HERE'S JOSH MCELVEEN.
JOSH: IN AN ELECTION CYCLE
FILLED WITH UNEXPECTED STORY
LINES, THE RACE FOR THE SECOND
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT BETWEEN
INCUMBENT AN ANY KUSTER AND
HUDSON REPUBLICAN JIM LAWRENCE
MIGHT BE THE CLOSEST THING THERE
IS TO A SURE THING IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE.
AS THE TWO-TERM CONGRESSWOMAN
LEADS THE HER BID FOR A THIRD
TERM BY 14 POINTS, IF THE
ELECTION WERE HELD TODAY, 45 TO
31%.
IN THE FIRST DISTRICT HOWEVER AN
I BELIEVE CANDIDATE IS MUDDLING
THINGS.
>> O'CONNOR'S ENTRANCE INTO THE
RACE HAS SHAKEN IT UP A BIT.
JOSH: SHEA PORTER HOLDS A
FIVE-POINT LEAD OVER GUINTA,
WITH O'CONNOR GETTING 13% IF THE
ELECTION WERE HELD TODAY.
BUT THE ELECTION IS NOT TODAY.
AND 23% OF FIRST DISTRICT VOTERS
HAVE YET TO MAKE UP THEIR MIND,
WHICH COULD MAKE THURSDAY
NIGHT'S GRANITE STATE DEBATE
CRITICAL FOR ALL OF THEM.
>> I WENT WON'T BE THE FIRST
TIME THAT VOTERS HAVE SEEN SHEA
PORTER AND GUINTA.
IT WILL PROBABLY BE THE FIRST
TIME ANYONE SEES SEAN O'CONNOR
AND IT'S REALLY AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR HIM TO MAKE HIS CASE.
JOSH: WITH ONLY A WEEK TO GO
BEFORE VOTERS HEAD TO THE POLLS,
TIME LEAVES VERY LITTLE MARRIAGE
